I'll fully admit that he phones in a lot of performances, and he's not the type of actor to steal a movie, but he has generally been solid and likable and I give him credit for his drama, comedy and action roles. 8/10.

8/10 Willis is one of my very favorite actors but it's sad to watch his mental decline. I know Willis won't get any better but I do wish him well.

I used to make fun of his movie choices post-2010 but I guess he was just trying to make any money he could before he was no longer able to.

I suspect the same thing. It’s a real bummer about Bruce, best wishes to him and his family, what a terrible illness.

9/10.

I find him highly entertaining to watch when he was in his prime, but if we are going on actual acting skills, I'm not sure he's really got range, so to be fair to some of the others who can act on your list I can't rate him as high.

As I said, he's not the type of actor to steal a movie, but he's got a movie star quality about him. He's entertaining, but he's definitely not doing Shakespearean roles.

[–] sslssg (34211) 5 months ago

He was entertaining. Health issues aside, after the 90s, he really didn't really do much that I was a fan of. I'm guessing by his movies in the 00s he wasn't having the issues that he has today, so I'm not really excusing a lot of the crap that he has done.

[–] samoanjoes (56640) 5 months ago

The rumours were that his illness was from an accident that happened on Tears of the Sun from 2003.

[–] sslssg (34211) 5 months ago

I thought no one really noticed anything until about 2019/2020. Regardless, I still think that many of his movies over the last 25 years have been crap.
